Konnekt Koaching is a project that targets the pillar of education equality. Through partnering with different schools and libraries in underprivileged areas such as Succeed, volunteers read and teach children of varying ages at these organizations along with doing related crafts with them.
Through this project, we hope to connect the youth to the seniors through various activities. Some of our initiatives include "Tech Talks" and our "Dance with Us" & "Let's Play Housie"! We truly believe it provides an opportunity for both groups to learn new skill sets.
Please reach out if your town would be interested in having us set up a similar outreach program!!
We collect gently used clothes, school supplies, and sanitary items, to send to underprivileged children around the world. We have previously shipped to India, Philippines, Uganda, the Dominican Republic, Trinidad and Tobago, Syria, Turkey and Tanzania.
We are currently running another drive to send clothes to Dominican Republic. If you are interested, please email or contact us via social media or anyone of our core team members.

Konnekt Kares is one of our many ongoing projects that is aimed at spreading joy and culture.

So many seniors don't get a single call from their friends or family. We launched a special project called Konnekt Kards last year during the pandemic, and we had people write and design letters/cards. Small gestures like this have made their day really special!
